Sasquatch is way hotter than your Mom!

Yep… the lineup for the 2008 Sasquatch Music Festival has officially been announced and I nearly shit my pants, I kid you not. My only disappointment: There will be no Explosions in the Sky.

Now I just need to figure out which festival I’m going to attend, Sasquatch or All Points West?

My cost projection for 2008 seems to be the main predictor of what sorts of summer adventures I can feasibly conceive… so that may be the main PRO that sends me to Sasquatch town. Tickets are cheap.. $150.50 if I buy them very soon, and that is damn reasonable for a lineup like this one:

—

R.E.M., Modest Mouse, The Cure, Death Cab for Cutie, The Flaming Lips, Michael Franti and Spearhead, MIA, Built to Spill, The Presidents of the United States of America, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Tegan and Sara, Flight of the Conchords, Ozomatli, Blue Scholars, The Blakes, The Hives, The Kooks, Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, The Cops, Cold War Kids, The New Pornographers, The National, Beirut, Rogue Wave, Dengue Fever, Fleet Foxes, The Breeders, Okkervil River, The Little Ones, Grand Archives, David Bazan, Joshua Morrison, Sera Cahoone, Throw the Statue, Crudo (featuring Mike Patton & Dan The Automator), Kinski, The Cave Singers, Battles, Destroyer, Jamie Liddell, Ghostland Observatory, Matt Costa, Pela, Awesome, White Rabbits, J. Tillman, The Heavenly States, 65 Days of Static, Mates of State, Say Hi, Vince Mira with the Roy Kay Trio, Dyme Def, Siberian, The Shaky Hands, Thao Nguyen with the Get Down Stay Dow

Now all I really have to do is figure out how Thao Nguyen really plans to “Get Down and Stay Down”… what a feat!!

Tickets go on sale March 8th.
